Playing a similar build. Vines, as a pathfinder, just suit my class fantasy well. It's very effective, but demands a certain play style. One of the things I've enjoyed is blowing up packs essentially off screen by dropping Toxic+Vines, then firing in that general direction. It's enabled me to clear abyssal nodes more safely than on any other build and that includes my Infernalist summoner.

It's not for the one button, speed running crowd, but I find it fun and satisfying.
